Comfort Bags for American Cancer Society......our members sew the comfort bags from donated material, collect items to put inside with a handmade encouragement card so that a woman going through cancer treatment has a care bag to take with her and help her pass the time in comfort. Since 2018 we have provided 50-100 each year based on the need. (Paused due to COVID 19)
Our club has helped provide personal care products to stock the pantry for the young clients of Forward Paths. We have also provided funding. Forward Paths Foundation has taken an exciting step in our pursuit of improving the lives of Lake County's homeless unaccompanied youth and youth aging out of foster care. The Lack of safe and affordable housing is a huge barrier to a youth's ability to achieve self-sufficiency. The need for secure housing is immediate. The board and staff of Forward Paths developed a strategic plan to address our goals.
